Slave Driver - Lyrics by Bob Marley


Lyrics
Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. oo-oo-ooh! oo-oo-ooh.
Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire: gonna get burn. (catch a fire) wo, now!
Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very souls.
Today they say that we are free,
Only to be chained in poverty.
Good god, I think it's illiteracy;
It's only a machine that makes money.
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all. ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.
Slave driver, uh! the table is turn, baby, now; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, baby, now. (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire: so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)
Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very soul.O god, have mercy on our souls!
Oh, slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn. (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire ... /fadeout/
